OUR ORATOR (3) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1m1/4f at Ipswich. Will be a major player again. MEDICAL AUTOCRAT (5) was in the money when resuming at Gold Coast then could only manage fifth last time out over 6¾f at Warwick. One of the chances based on his best recent efforts. ARIZONA DREAMING (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1m3f at this track after being prominent from the outset. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. HEREDITARY (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1m1f at this track. Hard to leave out.
